Before Us(Cavaco chords)

	        Intro: D 

Verse 1:
 
A 
I'm surprised, staring at the knives 
      Em            D 
Lying silent in the drawer 
  A 
I hear the front door ring in my guitar 
          Em         D 
Empty up against the wall 

 
 A 
Alone with the people who have come before 
 G                             A 
Alone with the people who have come before 
 Em                            G              D 
Alone with the people who have come before us 
    A 
I'm high for the people who have come before 
    G                            A 
I'm high for the people who have come before 
    Em                           G              D 
I'm high for the people who have come before us 


Verse 2:
 
A 
I remember when wars would end 
              Em         D 
Remember when wars would end? 
A 
Now when something's dead, now when something's dead 
          Em       D 
We try to kill it again 

 
 A 
Alone with the people who have come before 
 G                             A 
Alone with the people who have come before 
 Em                            G              D 
Alone with the people who have come before us
